After doing some looking of my own into this pen, I am beginning to believe that Zachariah Dederick could be its retailer. He is listed as a watchmaker in New York in the 1850 U S Federal Census. In New York City Directories in the mid nineteenth century he is listed as a Pencil Case Maker. Later census's and directories identify him as an assayer.
